ChildSupportAttorneyinFranklin,TN
Tennessee calculates child support under the Income Shares model — and the math matters. Income classification, day-count, work-related childcare, health insurance and self-employment treatment all change the number. Whether you're setting an initial order, asking the court to modify, or facing an arrears action, getting the inputs right is half the case.
The right number—calculated, enforced, modified.
The proposed support number feels wrong.
Worksheets get filled out incorrectly all the time. We audit the inputs — income, parenting time, insurance, childcare — before any number is adopted.
Your income or the other parent's has changed.
Job loss, raises, self-employment shifts and remarriages can justify modification. Tennessee uses a 'significant variance' threshold; we evaluate whether you meet it.
You're behind on payments — or owed payments.
Arrears, judgments, license suspensions and contempt actions are real. So are defenses. We handle both sides.
Self-employment is complicating the calculation.
Tennessee imputes income, scrutinizes deductions and looks closely at owners of pass-through entities. We've handled it before.

How we handle child support matters.
Built on decades of work inside Williamson County courtrooms — and tailored to your file.
Get the worksheet right the first time.
Most disputes are won or lost on the inputs. We audit and document every line.
Pursue modifications when the variance supports it.
Tennessee allows modification on a significant variance — 15% in most cases, 7.5% for low-income payers. We evaluate eligibility honestly.
Defend enforcement actions strategically.
Contempt isn't automatic. We surface ability-to-pay defenses, payment plans and abatement arguments where the facts support them.
